Walking along the river
I think how time flies flies by
It seems like just yesterday
We were sitting here
Just you and I
Now the kids are grown
They've all left home
But the warm memories
Filled this lonely soul
As the color fades from my eyes
You're there shining
Like a star in the sky
I've been waiting
The rest of my life
To spend forever with you
Oh how I've waited
To see those bright eyes
And hear your voice
When you say all your lines
Every moment's
Just a whisper in time
Now that you're mine
And it's so beautiful
To see your sweet smile
The dark lonely days
Start to shift and change
As the color fades from my eyes
You're there shining
Like a star in the sky
I've been waiting
The rest of my life
To spend forever with you
My dream's coming true
Walking hand in hand
Again with you
Such joy and wonder
I would never have known
If it had just been me
And me alone
So hold me close
And never let go
Because I love you
More than you'll ever know
I would never have known
If it had just been me
And me alone
So hold me close
And never let go
Because I love you
More than you'll ever know
As the color fades from my eyes
You're there shining
Like a star in the sky
I've been waiting
The rest of my life
To spend forever with you
To spend forever with you
